9/11 Flight 93, 33 Passengers & 7 Crew Revolted and Took Plane from Hijackers - True Heroes Deliberately Caused Plane to Crash into an Empty Field in Pennsylvania - THEY GAVE EVERYTHING to Save Others

9-10-18, Mike Rowe – Regarding Nike’s Poster Boy, NFL’s Kaepernick: “Nike's free to celebrate whomever they wish and Kaepernick is entitled to his opinion - kneeling, standing, or lying down. But if I was going to put someone's face on a billboard - someone who epitomized bravery and sacrifice - I might have gone another way, especially this time of year.

I might have gone with - Tom Burnett, who died with all the other heroes, on 9/11/01, Flight 93, in Pennsylvania. His last act on earth was one of the most courageous things imaginable. And his last words to his wife, Deena, are among the most inspiring I've ever heard."

Deena's transcript of her last telephone call from her husband (excerpt):

Tom: "We’re waiting until we’re over a rural area. We’re going to take back the airplane. We can’t wait for the authorities. I don’t know what they could do anyway. It’s up to us. I think we can do it."Deena: "What do you want me to do?"Tom: "Pray, Deena, just pray."Deena: "I love you."Tom: "Don’t worry, we’re going to do something."

***Summary: From the Black Box and testimonies of those who received cell calls:Last transmission from pilot to tower before hijack was 9:27 amUnited Airlines Flight 93, departed at 8:42 a.m., just minutes before the first hijacked plane struck the World Trade Center in New York City. Four Muslim hijackers stormed the aircraft's cockpit approximately 46 minutes after takeoff. The thirty-three passengers and seven crew members were herded to the back of plane; hijackers had knives.

The passengers took a vote amongst themselves about whether to act as ten passengers had successfully contacted loved ones and 911 by cell phone learning of the other hijacked planes. Passenger Edward Felt dialed 9-1-1 from his cell phone from the rear lavatory of the aircraft seeking information at 09:58. He also learned of the other planes …​

1. Flights 11 and 175 had struck the World Trade Center towers​​2. Flight 77 had struck the Pentagon

The Passengers Revolted and Attacked the Cockpit

Flight attendant, CeeCee Lyles called her husband once more from a cell phone and told him the passengers were forcing their way into the cockpit.

The Muslim hijacker, Jarrah began to roll the airplane left and right to knock the passengers off balance saying, "They want to get in here. Hold, hold from the inside. Hold from the inside. Hold." Jarrah changed tactics at 09:59:52 and pitched the nose of the airplane up and down to disrupt the assault; maneuvering the plane around violently. The plane left its Washington, D.C. course.

The cockpit voice recorder captured the sounds of crashing, screaming, and the shattering of glass and plates. Three times in a period of five seconds there were shouts of pain or distress from a hijacker outside the cockpit, suggesting a hijacker that was standing guard outside the cockpit was being attacked by the passengers.

Jarrah stabilized the plane at 10:00:03.Five seconds later, he asked, "Is that it? Shall we finish it off?" Another hijacker responded, "No. Not yet. When they all come, we finish it off."

Jarrah once again pitched the airplane up and down. A passenger in the background cried, "In the cockpit. If we don't, we'll die!" at 10:00:25. Sixteen seconds later, another passenger, identified as Tom Burnett, yelled, "Roll it!", possibly referring to using the food cart. [The voice recorder did record the sound of the passengers using the food cart as a battering ram against the cockpit door.]

Jarrah ceased the violent maneuvers at 10:01:00 and recited the Islamic phrase "Allāhu akbar" several times. He then asked another hijacker, "Is that it? I mean, shall we put it down?" The other hijacker responded, "Yes, put it in it, and pull it down."

The passengers continued their assault and at 10:02:17, a male passenger said, "Turn it up!" A second later, a hijacker said, "Pull it down! Pull it down!"

At 10:02:33, Jarrah was heard to plead, "Hey! Hey! Give it to me!" repeated eight times in succession, possibly referring to the plane's yoke.

The airplane plummeted into a nosedive with the yoke turned hard to the right. The airplane rolled upside down, and one of the hijackers began shouting the takbir Allāhu akbar. Amidst the continued sounds of the passenger counterattack, the aircraft picked up speed, whooshing and shrieking picked up on the recorder, and the hijackers inside the cockpit are heard yelling "No!" at the sound of breaking glass — presumably from the food cart — and that the final spoken words on the recorder seemed to be an inexplicably calm voice in English instructing, "Pull it up." The last entry on the voice recorder was made at 10:03:09. The last piece of flight data was recorded at 10:03:10. ***

Many of the passengers' family members, having heard the audio recordings, believe that the passengers breached the cockpit and killed at least one of the hijackers guarding the cockpit door; some interpreted the audio as suggesting that both the passengers and hijackers struggled for control of the yoke; aqlthough it is inconclusive.***US Government Was Planning on Shooting Down Flt 93:Vice President Dick Cheney, in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center deep under the White House, authorized Flight 93 to be shot down, but upon learning of the crash, is reported to have said, "I think an act of heroism just took place on that plane."

Plane Crashed in Empty field:At 10:03:11, near Indian Lake and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the plane crashed into a field near a reclaimed coal strip mine known as the Diamond T. Mine owned by PBS Coals in Stonycreek Township in Somerset County. Source Wikipedia More here

"I'm Burning My Nikes" - Americans Launch Boycott...9-6-18, Americans launched a boycott against Nike after finding out Kaepernick was chosen to be the face of its September 2018 advertising campaign. The 9/11 heroes on United flight 93 GAVE THEIR EVERYTHING to save others … what did Kaepernick give?

The Nike logo 'swoosh' says 'JUST DO IT' ... they did it alright ... 55% of American public supports our Police, ICE, President Trump, our American flag and our National Anthem. Kaepernick disrespecting them has made him a hero to leftist America haters who are not enough to keep the shoe manufacturer afloat. Sad state of affairs for Nike to cut their proverbial nose to spite their face. ​
